| 16 | Author: | Crane review: Anonymous | Add | | | Title: | Stephen Crane : author of The black riders and other lines | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | You will look in vain through the pages of the Trade
Circular for any record of a story of New York life entitled
Maggie: A Girl of the Streets, which was published three or
four years ago in this city. At the moment of going to press the
timorous publishers withdrew their imprint from the book, which was
sold, in paper covers, for fifty cents. There seems to be
considerable difficulty now in securing copies, but the fact that
there is no publisher's name to the book, and that the author
appears under the nom de plume of "Johnston Smith," may have
something to do with its apparent disappearance. The copy which
came into the writer's possession was addressed to the Rev. Thomas
Dixon a few months ago, before the author went West on a
journalistic trip to Nebraska, and has these words written across
the cover: "It is inevitable that this book will greatly shock you,
but continue, pray, with great courage to the end, for it tries to
show that environment is a tremendous thing in this world, and
often shapes lives regardlessly. If one could prove that theory,
one would make room in Heaven for all sorts of souls (notably an
occasional street girl) who are not confidently expected to be
there by many excellent people." The author of this story and the
writer of these words is Stephen Crane, whose "Lines" (he does not
call them poems) have just been published by Copeland and Day, and
are certain to make a sensation. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 20 | Author: | Anonymous | Add | | | Title: | "Ida M. Tarbell" | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | Without expressing any opinion critically, it is quite safe to
say that there are few, if any, living American writers on
historical subjects in whom the general reading public has more
real interest than Miss Ida M. Tarbell, the author of the lives
of
Madame Roland, Napoleon and of Lincoln, and The History of the
Standard Oil, which is now running serially in McClure's
Magazine. Miss Tarbell was interviewed a short time ago for
THE BOOKMAN by Mr. Charles Hall Garrett, and out of that
interview
grew these paragraphs. Beginning biographically, it is enough to
say that Miss Tarbell attended school in Titusville,
Pennsylvania,
and later Alleghany College, Meadville, Pennsylvania, where she
was
an editor of the college publication. Being graduated with
honours, she became preceptress of the Seminary at Poland, Ohio.
Two years later she assumed the associate editorship of the
Chautauquan, published at Meadville in the interests of
its
Chautauqua work; and eventually became managing editor of that
publication. It was during this period that she awakened to a
realisation of her interest in historical and biographical
work. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
